Hello Janis!

01 Jan 14 13:10, you wrote to me:

 So why is he switching to a dos version now. If that works he could have done
 so last year. That would have saved a lot of work tracking down a bug in the
 Wattcom compiler. Or is there a hope, that now thw OS2 version works,
 some flaw can be found with the DOS version. He should try his magic
 cut and paste function.

 There are no problems in makenl_ng, the software has been in development
 for almost 10 years. You have been using it for at least four.
 There is no software in the world that has such a long lead time.

 What will happen if there are no more excuses on the RC level, are the tests
 then extended to the Host level. Many of them have to be compliant as well
 if they are to supply a net segment to the RC's.

 For the other zones to be able to switch only you have to be able to
 process the composite list with allowunpub enabled.

 The Zone 2,3,4 segments are not processed by RC17 nor by RC19.

 If you enable allowunpub when processing the composite list, fidonet
 outside Z1 can move on, and you have all the time in the world to sort out
 how to get makenl working. Now I have the feeling we are led by the nose.

 With aplogies for losing my temper.

Kees
